Atlanta Braves

CHICAGO — Derek Lowe had a strong outing, and Chipper Jones hit a home run, which might normally be enough to translate into a victory for the Braves.

But on this cool night at Wrigley Field, the Cubs reminded their fans that they have some stars, too.

Alfonso Soriano homered and Randy Wells pitched effectively into the seventh innings as the Cubs beat the Braves, 3-2, and snapped Atlanta’s six-game winning streak.

Wells (5-4) held the Braves to one run and two hits over 6 2-3 innings, striking out six and improving to 4-1 in his career against Atlanta.

Carlos Marmol got the last three outs and joined Lee Smith as the only Cubs relievers to post consecutive 30-save seasons.

Soriano’s two-run shot fueled Chicago’s three-run rally in the second. He also walked and was hit by a pitch. Aramis Ramirez added a single and two walks, extending his hitting streak to 13 games.

Chipper Jones and Alex Gonzalez hit a solo homers for Atlanta, which managed just three hits in the game.

Derek Lowe (8-12) took the loss, allowing four hits and two earned runs over seven solid innings.

Lowe threw a season-high 119 pitches.

Wells has struggled this season, going 3-4 with a 6.16 ERA since coming off a seven-week stay on the disabled list on May 28. On Wednesday, he flashed the form that gave him the NL’s 10th-best ERA as a rookie in 2009.

He got off to a fast start, setting down the first 10 Braves and striking out four. The only hit he allowed through the first six innings was Martin Prado’s infield single in the fourth.

Wells appeared to tire in the seventh, giving up Freddie Freeman’s flyout to the wall and Jones’ home run into the batter’s eye in center field. Wells threw 109 pitches and departed after Jones’ blast, which moved him into a tie with Jeff Bagwell for 34th on the career list with 449.

Gonzalez homered off reliever Kerry Wood in the eighth.

Soriano gave the Cubs their first lead of the series in the second with his 22nd homer.

It was a mammoth two-run shot to center field well over the 400-foot sign.

The Cubs added a run later in the inning thanks to the speed of Tony Campana, who reached on an error when Dan Uggla tried to hurry on a slow roller to second. Campana stole second, went to third on a balk and scored on Wells’ swinging bunt.

Ramirez didn’t figure in the scoring, but remained hot. He walked twice and reached on an infield single, extending his streak of reaching base to a career-high nine plate appearances before grounding out in the seventh.

Ramirez is hitting .560 (28 for 50) during his 13-game hitting streak and has reached base in 30 of his last 45 plate appearances.

BRAVES NOTES

l Outfielder Jose Constanza was out of the lineup for the second straight day because of a mild sprain of his right ankle, though manager Fredi Gonzalez said Constanza was available to pinch-hit. He expect him to return to the lineup today. …

l The Braves will send rookie Brandon Beachy (6-2) to the mound for this afternoon’s series finale against Chicago’s Matt Garza (6-9), who has posted a 1.47 ERA over his last nine home starts.

ATLANTA – Kirk Gibson tried to push buttons and pull levers with his batting order Friday, rearranging his slumping hitters with his hotter ones, reacting quickly to an offensive drought that began just a few days ago.

He might as well have been shaking up an already-open, day-old can of soda. The Diamondbacks still were flat.

They put more pressure on the Atlanta Braves in a 4-2 loss on Friday night than they did in the previous three games in Philadelphia, but the end result was another loss, their third in four games on a road trip everyone knew would be difficult – and thus far, has been.

But that silver lining known as the flat-lining San Francisco Giants popped up again, this time on Turner Field’s out-of-town scoreboard high beyond left field. The Giants were defeated once again, dropping a 6-0 decision to the Houston Astros, thus remaining 2 1/2 games behind the Diamondbacks in the National League West standings.

Gibson went to great lengths to praise the performance of his team, despite the fact that it failed to score at least three runs for the third consecutive game and left 10 men on base.

He said they “battled” and “grinded.” He said he was “proud” and that they “did a hell of a job.” He even summoned right fielder Justin Upton, who grounded out to end the game, into his office after the game, ostensibly to tell him not to beat himself up for not coming through against Braves closer Craig Kimbrel.

“That closer, look at his numbers,” Gibson told reporters. “But we didn’t concede to him. We battled till the end.”

With the tying runs aboard, Upton got ahead 2-1 against Kimbrel, the rookie with the 100-mph fastball. But Kimbrel threw consecutive sliders, and Upton bounced out in front of the plate. He briefly popped into Gibson’s office before speaking with reporters.

“Me and Gibby were just talking about him,” Upton said of Kimbrel. “Guys are hitting .170 off him. Obviously I want to get a hit in that situation, but if you look at the big picture he’s gotten everybody out. The moral of the story is you don’t get to that guy (i.e., get the lead early). If you don’t get to him in the ninth inning, you might be all right.”

Gibson elevated Gerardo Parra from No. 8 to No. 2 in the lineup, but Parra went 0 for 3 before being lifted for pinch-hitter Collin Cowgill in the seventh. Gibson also dropped Chris Young from the fifth spot to No. 7; he went 0 for 4. First baseman Lyle Overbay, the hero Tuesday night against Roy Halladay, struck out four times.

Gibson, who this season has expressed frustration for his hitters’ inability to deliver with men in scoring position, this time forgave them for it.

“We’ve won one game on this trip,” Gibson said. “That’s what it is. It’s not a big deal. We’re not going to panic. We played a good game today. We had a lot of pressure on them. We were 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position. We left a ton of guys on. They kept battling. We didn’t roll over. That’s a good sign. We’re fine.”

Diamondbacks rewind

Kelly’s night: Slumping second baseman Kelly Johnson had three hits, his first multi-hit game since July 31. He entered the day with a .208 average, the lowest among league qualifiers.

But he singled to center in the third and to right in the fifth off Braves starter Derek Lowe, then dropped down a bunt single to lead off the ninth against closer Craig Kimbrel.

“We know about their bullpen, and at that point putting any kind of pressure it seemed, obviously, worth a chance,” Johnson said. “Fortunately it rolled the way it did, and I got on there.”

Homers sink Hudson: All four runs the Braves scored against Diamondbacks right-hander Daniel Hudson came via the long ball, but Hudson seemed upset only about one, a two-run shot by Brian McCann off a change-up in the third inning.

“That was probably the only pitch I want back all night,” he said. “It was down, but it was middle of the zone and he crushed it.”

Keep battling: Manager Kirk Gibson noted that his lineup made the Braves throw 160 pitches, an indication to him that hitters weren’t giving away at-bats.

Willie Bloomquist had a good night at the plate, reaching base four times, including in a ninth-inning at-bat against Kimbrel in which he walked on seven pitches, all 98-mph fastballs.

View from the press box

Chipper Jones said Thursday that the amount of young pitching talent the Braves have is “almost embarrassing.” After one game, it’s easy to see what he means. Closer Craig Kimbrel is a Rookie of the Year candidate, and young relievers Jonny Venters and Arodys Vizcaino are filthy. Assuming the Braves reach the postseason, they look like they’ll be a tough team to face in a short series.

ATLANTA — The Braves keep coming up with new things to throw at each other when they celebrate.

This time, they went with the resin bag.

“I tried to get away,” Martin Prado said, breaking into a smile after his two-out single in the 11th inning gave the Braves their second straight last walk-off win over San Francisco, 2-1 Tuesday night.

“They got me with dirt, the resin bag, everything. That’s fine. It’s a great win for the team.”

Atlanta starting pitcher Randall Delgado had already dressed by the time the Braves won, but he sure did his part.

The 21-year-old rookie allowed no hits through six innings in his second big-league start.

He was lifted after giving up his lone hit — Cody Ross’ leadoff homer in the seventh that tied the game at 1.

Delgado insisted that he never thought about a no-hitter, but he knew how well he pitched.

That’s going to make it even more difficult to return to the minor leagues; he was called up to fill in for injured Tommy Hanson, and will head right back to Triple-A with Jair Jurrjens coming off the disabled list on Wednesday.

“That was pretty exciting,” Delgado said. “I’m so proud of myself.”

Pinch-hitter Brooks Conrad sparked the winning rally with a ground-rule double.

He then moved over to third on a ground out and came home on Prado’s opposite-field single to right off Javier Lopez (5-2) for the winning run.

Prado’s teammates charged out of the dugout and caught up him around second base, pelting him with all sorts of stuff in what has become a familiar team tradition.

They lead the NL with 22 wins in the last at-bat.

On Monday, the Braves rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the ninth inning, beating the Giants 5-4 on Freddie Freeman’s two-out, two-run single off Brian Wilson.

“This is what I really love about this team,” Prado said.

“We always go all the way to the end. If we lose, we lose battling.”

Twenty-year-old Arodys Vizcaino (1-0) picked up his first big league win with two scoreless innings. Manager Fredi Gonzalez gave him the game ball and the lineup sheet the Braves put up in their dugout.

“My first game, I was nervous,” Vizcaino said through a translator. “Now I feel like I’m part of the team because the guys make me feel so comfortable.”

Delgado, a 21-year-old prized prospect from Panama, looked right at home, too. He faced the minimum through six innings, the only baserunner reaching in the fourth when Mike Fontenot walked with one out, only to be erased on a nifty double play by the Braves.

Second baseman Dan Uggla went to his knees to field a grounder by Pablo Sandoval, wheeled around and threw to second, where shortstop Alex Gonzalez made the relay throw while leaping over a sliding Fontenot.

Gonzalez had hoped to get six innings out of the rookie, who made his major league debut on June 17 against defending AL champion Texas. Delgado was a bit shaky in that one, giving up seven hits and three earned runs in four innings, taking the loss in a 6-2 setback.

He pitched like a veteran against the team that beat Texas in the World Series, mixing a mid-90s fastball with breaking pitches that had the Giants lunging. Chris Stewart was so fooled while striking out in the sixth, he flung his bat into the stands behind home plate. No one was hurt, fortunately.

But Ross finally got to Delgado in the seventh. The right-hander threw three straight balls, managed a strike, then served up a 92 mph pitch that Ross launched deep into the left-field seats for his 10th homer.

“I was like, ‘Wow, that was a bad pitch,’” Delgado said. “He made me pay.”

As soon as Ross finished circling the bases, Gonzalez popped from the dugout to switch pitchers. Delgado threw 74 pitches and received a standing ovation as he walked slowly off the field.

The Giants may soon be out of players.

Sanchez sprained his left ankle when he slipped in front of the mound while fielding Delgado’s sacrifice bunt. He managed to make an awkward throw to first base from the ground, barely getting Delgado, but threw only one more pitch.

After delivering one that was nearly over the head of Michael Bourn, Sanchez limped off the mound and was replaced by Guillermo Mota. The left-hander was on crutches after the game; he hopes to try out the ankle in a couple of days to determine if he can make his next start.

“It’s disappointing what happened,” Sanchez said. “When I pressed on my ankle, I couldn’t go.”

The Giants, mired in a skid that knocked them out of first place in the NL West, began the day putting outfielder Carlos Beltran and reliever Sergio Romo on the 15-day disabled list. Three other players were nursing less-serious ailments that kept them out of the lineup.

After replacing Sanchez, Mota gave up a two-out single to Bourn that drove in speedster Jose Constanza, the surprising sparkplug of the Braves offense. The 27-year-old career minor leaguer reached on a bunt single and is hitting .403 since coming up to Atlanta in late June, playing so well that he’s starting ahead of last year’s rookie star, Jason Heyward.

The Giants cut off the throw home and got Bourn in a rundown — and what a rundown it was. Bourn drew five throws running back and forth before getting tagged out on a weary, headfirst slide into first.

NOTES: IF Miguel Tejada was supposed to do a rehab stint in the minors, but the injury situation forced the Giants to put him straight in the lineup at third base. … Braves 3B Chipper Jones batted sixth, the lowest he’s hit in the Atlanta order since 1997. … Jurrjens will be making his second career start against the Giants. He’s 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in his only other appearance. … Matt Cain will get the nod for San Francisco in the series finale. He’s 2-2 with a 4.03 ERA in five career starts vs. the Braves.

This time, they went with the resin bag.

The Giants put two players on the disabled list before the game, then lost starting pitcher Jonathan Sanchez to a sprained ankle in the third. Four relievers combined to allow only six hits and one earned run in eight innings.

That’s a tough one but I’m proud of the staff,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “They fought hard, man. They were into it.”

Twenty-year-old Arodys Vizcaino (1-0) picked up his first big league win with two scoreless innings. Manager Fredi Gonzalez gave him the game ball and the lineup sheet the Braves put up in their dugout.

Edgar Renteria replaced injured rookie shortstop Zack Cozart and
drove in three runs Saturday, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to an
11-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

Cozart hyperextended his left elbow while trying to make a tag
in the fourth inning, getting Renteria off the bench. His two-run
double off Derek Lowe (6-8) started a three-run rally in the sixth
inning that put the Reds ahead.

Brandon Phillips had a pair of run-scoring doubles, and Todd
Frazier doubled with the bases loaded as Cincinnati pulled
away.

Homer Bailey (5-4) threw 53 pitches in the first two innings,
but made it through six on a 92-degree afternoon. Lowe’s
bases-loaded double drove in a pair in the second.

It was Cincinnati’s highest-scoring game since an 11-2 win over
Pittsburgh on April 16. The Reds scored seven runs in the seventh,
matching their season high. It was the most runs off Atlanta’s
staff in an inning this season.

The Reds remain stuck in their win-one, lose-one pattern. They
haven’t won consecutive games since June 14-15.

Cozart hurt his left elbow while trying to catch the ball and
tag out the sliding Nate McLouth in the fourth inning. Cozart lost
his glove and fell to the ground, grabbing his left elbow. He
covered his face with his right hand, fighting back pain, while a
trainer examined the elbow.

X-rays were negative. There was no immediate word on how long
he’d be out. Cozart was called up on July 7 and gave the Reds a
boost at a troublesome position, hitting safely in his first seven
games.

Lowe took a 2-1 lead into the sixth but couldn’t get another
out. Jay Bruce, out of the lineup with an inner-ear problem, had a
pinch-hit double, starting Cincinnati’s comeback. The Reds cobbled
together five consecutive hits for a 4-2 lead, knocking Lowe from
the game.

Renteria singled home another run off Scott Proctor in the
seventh, when Cincinnati sent 11 batters to the plate. Frazier’s
three-run double made it 11-2.

Bailey routinely fell behind in the count, setting himself up
for a tough time. Atlanta couldn’t take full advantage, stranding
eight runners during his six innings.

Jason Heyward was thrown out at the plate while trying to score
from second base on Freddie Freeman’s single in the first inning.
Atlanta loaded the bases with one out in the second, and Lowe
doubled for a 2-1 lead. Lowe leads the Braves’ pitching staff with
eight hits and six RBIs.

Atlanta left the bases loaded in the inning when Brian McCann
flied out to the warning track in center.

Braves second baseman Dan Uggla ran before the game, testing the
sore left calf that kept him out of the lineup the two previous
games. He was back in the lineup on Saturday and singled in his
first at-bat, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 14
games.

Notes: The crowd of 41,192 gave the Reds their 11th sellout,
matching the record for a season at Great American Ball Park. ..
Bruce left for a pinch-runner after his double in the sixth. …
The Reds gave away 30,000 Jonny Gomes bobbleheads.
